Fo3 Companions Favorite Past Times/Hobbies

➼ Word Count » 0.6k ➼ Warnings » None ➼ Genre » Platonic/Romantic

Charon claims to not have any hobbies, saying that he "isn't focused on himself as much as he is his employer", but if you pay close enough attention, you'll catch the (somewhat) pleasant expression on his face while he cooks. He's always offering to fix something up for you and it always comes back perfectly made. The ghoul has a real talent when it comes to working over a fire and secretly loves sharing his expertise with your less experienced self.

Clover got really good at origami while enslaved. She used to sit in her cage and fold papers and leaves till they slowly began to form something tangible. It helped her stay calm in the times that mattered the most, and you'll notice her taking out slices of cloth and other bendable material and just folding them into wasteland creatures. She'll do it while waiting on you or in the middle of the night when she can't sleep. It helps keep her mind at bay while she tries to cope with everything she'd been put through.

After her accident, Star Paladin Cross took up journaling, deciding that she wanted herself and the rest of the Brotherhood to be remembered in an honoring and respectable light. She writes as honestly and unbiasedly as she can so that the people of the future can objectively tell what went down in the Capital Wasteland. She's incredibly consistent with it and is proud to be participating in the logging of the Brotherhood's history.

As surprising as it might be, Jericho has done a lot of reading throughout his retirement and will still crack a book open as the two of you start settling down for the night. He tries to play it off saying that "it's what all the other raiders are doing these days" and that he just wants to "keep up with the younger ones", but the slight glimmer in his eye when he reaches certain pages would make anyone question his reasoning.

Butch says that spending you're time decorating anything is a waste of time, however, every time he visits your home in Megaton, he's rearranging furniture and bringing in little trinkets that make the place feel so much more welcoming than it was before. He's got a knack for interior design, although he'd never admit that he enjoys it.

While trapped in the vault, Fawkes spent a lot of his time tinkering with the terminal in his cell. He learned a great deal about hacking while messing around with the device and is quite proud of his capabilities when it comes to fixing them! He'd be over the moon if you ever asked him to take a look at your own, it makes him feel valuable and important.

RL-3 is big on cleaning. If it isn't spotless, it might as well be torched. This habit of his most likely stems from General Atomics programming him to be self-cleaning so that he can take care of himself and keep himself up to policy standards. It's useful enough when it comes to messy areas, but you have to be careful if he deems it to far gone to be saved, he'll set it on fire.

Dogmeat loves when you hide things around your home in Megaton and ask for him to find it. It makes him so excited when he can sniff around and help you retrieve your lost rocket toys. It's like a game of hide-and-seek, and he adores every second you play it with him.

Video is not mine. (I got it off yt)

So, I always see random meme compilations, and a lot of them lately have fallout, couldn't help but share this one

[swndmehelp]

A man’s first and last best friend

[jaxon-c6]

[joleneghoul]

Two Fallout protags and their animal friends!

More info/rambling under cut!

The Lone Wanderer (Al) and Dogmeat the wasteland mutt!

She canonically in my stuff has two puppies, which Al, because while he is a medic, he is not a vet, thought she was just fat/had worms until they appeared.

This is kind of my version of fo3's Dogmeat, i realize in the game, dogmeat is a boy dog, but I always bc of the fact puppies can appear in the cave of vault 101 just been like "omg what if girl".

Al doesn't really know much about dogs in general, but when he realized Dogmeat wasnt going to stop following him around, he was pretty fucking stoked about it.

Heres a doodle of the orange sized babies

Courier Six (Deano) and his trusted horse Rosemary + Rex the cyberdog!

When Deano found out the Kings dog was sick, being someone who cares deeply for animals (the health of them, the training, the care, etc), agreed to find him a new brain w.o any questions. In Deano's ideal future, he has 6 dogs, so he very much enjoys his time traveling with Rex.

Rosemary is a former working draft from a ranch near the Rio Grande Valley. She has been with Deano since before he was a courier (around 8 years). She loves to steal hats off peoples heads, much to Rex's delight and everyone elses annoyance.

She is very desensitized because of the life they have lived but terrified of motorcycles.

A fun fact: She has killed multiple people.

He teaches Rex how to handshake for iguana bits despite the much touted myth "you can't teach an old dog new tricks". Yes, he shows everyone this.

Also, not shown here are the various stray dogs and other animals he picks up/saves along his travels much to (sometimes) the dismay of his companions.

Rosemary the Horse based on the Sleipnir breed by @owligator !

Big fan of The Charon Situation being just so incurably screwed up. If ever there were a person equipped to have full control over an adult man’s free will, it’s definitely not the Lone Wanderer. Even the most educated, well-meaning, and genuinely righteous LW couldn’t handle the responsibility. She’s a teenager raised in an insular totalitarian ant farm who’s suddenly been thrust into a world with no authorities, no guidance.

Which creates a wonderful dynamic with Charon. If Ahzrukhal is to be believed, he was raised this way - he never had the chance to be an adult, taking risks, shouldering responsibility, gaining independence. His parents probably weren’t in the picture for long. I imagine his lack of agency causes him to be emotionally immature sometimes - how can you learn to solve problems like an adult if all the adults in your life treat you like a weapon or a dog or a houseplant?

This guy has to be so screwed up in every way. According to the game guide, he just doesn’t sleep?? Or Azzy never let him sleep? He has that idiosyncratic formal speech pattern, he worries a lot, and the only personal detail we know about him is that guns make him happy. He also kind of openly hates the player’s guts sometimes (he’s sarcastic when given certain commands, is joyfully mean about the GECK, and basically sentences you to death in the non-canon base game ending). No matter how hard the LW tries, some damaged part of him will always resent her authority. She could be a thousand times kinder, fairer, and more just than all his previous employers combined, but she’s still one of them. He still doesn’t have free will.

That power is illegitimate for a reason. There’s no way not to misuse it eventually, especially for a teenager with endless stress and trauma of her own. You’re fighting and you tell him to shut up so you can have the last word. You get a significant other and he gets left home with the dog some nights. You take a quest path he doesn’t approve of and he has to grit his teeth and go along with it.

It’s not fair, can never be fair, and that’s the perfect dynamic to explore. Because as much as he hates her, he loves her too. She literally saved him from Hell on earth, gave him the opportunity to be a force for good. He’s not dumb, he knows that the problem is the contract, not her. Over the years they’ll mature together and learn how to fix a lot of these problems. There are so many unique challenges to creating a healthy relationship out of… that.

(A lot of writers have the contract get destroyed, especially for 😉 reasons. There’s nothing in the game indicating that can’t happen, and it works fine for their purposes. I just think it’s more fun for it to be a continuous obstacle.)

Fallout 2 companions.... PART 2!!! (Minus the miscellaneous dogs sorry)

[solmluz]

✨GREASED LIGHTNINNN✨

[nerdygoth77]

I’ve noticed something about Charon!

After every enemy he shoots and kills, he always fires an extra round into the corpse. Now....Maybe I just smoke way too much weed when I play Fallout 3, but I swear I've seen Charon do this multiple times.

I've replayed Fallout 3 a couple of times and Charon is always my go to companion. (After I get a fuckton of caps, smh) And this most recent play through I have been staring at his character a bit more than usual.

When you recruit Charon and he kills Ahzrukhal, he shoots him twice, even though the first shotgun blast did the job just fine. I've never paid this much mind, thinking it was ONLY just because of his hatred for Ahzrukhal. But now I've noticed he does this with all enemies! (Well most, he and Dogmeat kill shit fast af and I don't always see it)

This is just kind of interesting to me! Always making sure an enemy is dead by doing a double tap is a great reassurance in the apocalypse. It totally makes sense for Charon's character as well. He is a perceptive person, and has probably had more than his share of bad experiences with things not being quite dead. I also wonder if he was taught this skill or if he learned it the hard way?

Even if this is just my imagination it’s something neat to think about with his character!!

[mildlymortified]

They’d be terrible to watch a movie with

Bitches love my Courier and my Lone Wanderer (I'm bitches.)

Fo3 Companions Reactions To You Being Sold Into Slavery

➼ Word Count » 0.3k ➼ Warnings » mentions of slavery ?? ➼ Genre » Platonic/Romantic, Hurt/Comfort

Charon gets really nervous when he hears that you've been kidnapped and will rush to try and prevent you from getting hurt. He might not show it often, but he cares a lot about you and doesn't know what would become of him if he failed at protecting you.

Clover is terrified for you and will try her best to do anything to get you out of that, even if it means selling herself back into slavery in exchange for your freedom. She’s already damaged, a little more can’t hurt her.

Star Paladin Cross wastes no time gathering a group of paladins and knights before coming to get you out of there. She'll immediately have the group take you to the scribes to make sure you're alright and to give you a break from everything you must've endured.

Jericho knows better than to pick a fight with slavers and will just end up buying you back. He'll berate you for getting caught but he's honestly just glad you're alright.

Butch has no idea what to do when he hears the news. He wants to help but he doesn't know how. He'll eventually settle on hiring a bunch of mercenaries and making this big, dramatic rescue for you. You'll both end up with at least one bullet lodged into your skin but the absolute excitement he feels when you're both finally in a safe location drowns out the pain and he'll give you the biggest hug.

Fawkes is so worried when he finds out you've been taken and will do everything he can to get you out of that situation, even if it means storming straight into Paradise Falls on his own and shooting up the place. You've gotten him out of imprisonment so he feels obligated to do the same for you and get you free again.

RL-3 isn't worried, you can tough it out for a bit while you wait for him to arrive. He'll start torching everyone when he finally catches up to you, though, and will salute you for your bravery.

Dogmeat probably ends up being taken as a slave with you, so you're both just sitting in a cage together. He'll growl when someone gets close to you, but that's all he can actually do.

[ezekiel13]

MacCready would love Dogmeat.

When he was a kid they had dogs at Little Lamplight and I like to think that when he meets Dogmeat he’d remember.

He’d always secretly been hoping to get a dog for Duncan, so when Duncan gets cured (and idc that nothing happens in game) and comes to the Commonwealth, MacCready finds and adopts a dog for the pair, who is also best friends with Dogmeat.

The dog would be called Rosie cause I read a fic in which MacCready had a dog named Rosie :D

Meet the Sillies !

Here are my Lone Wanderer, Courier 6, and Sole Survivor (+ an old oc) !

Info on them under the cut <3

Lone Wanderer: Axel Nessley

Age: 19

Gender: nonbinary (they/them)

Sexuality: queer (hasn't figured it all out yet, but they know they like boys)

Companion(s) of choice: Butch DeLoria <3

Weapon(s) of choice: Lead pipe and 10mm pistol

Courier 6: Jesse Elliot Ruthford

They get ghoulified after they successfully activate the purifier, I have doodles of that I'll post later.

Age: 26

Gender: trans man (he/him)

Sexuality: pan demiromantic

Companion(s) of choice: Arcade and Rex. Sometimes Boone or Veronica and ED-E.

Weapon(s) of choice: ratslayer, revolver, and Oh Baby!

He genuinely doesn't remember anything past first obtaining the platinum chip and even then that exchange is foggy. He's not too worried about getting them back either as long as he's still aim is still straight.

Gender: transmasc (he/they)

Sole Survivor: Fletcher Melbun

Age: 32

Sexuality: bisexual (male leaning preference)

Companion(s) of choice: Nick Valentine, Hancock, and Dogmeat

Weapon(s) of choice: modified combat rifle, molotovs, .50 hardened sniper rifle, serated switchblade

Has been going through a nonstop gauntlet since he left the vault. Long story short: he sobbed when he found Codsworth, he sobbed when he managed to make his way back to Valentine's office, and he sobbed anytime his Pip-Boy map would glitch out. Despite this, not a pushover. Don't test him.

Age: 23 (at time of ghoulification), now? They'll never tell.

My ghoul oc: Warren "Renny" Knewman

Gender: Won't tell anyone to keep them on their toes, but genderfluid (any pronouns)

Sexuality: asexual biromantic

Specific game origin: he could be applied to any title tbf, but I mostly imagine her in Fallout 4.

Weapon(s) of choice: sawed off shotgun, laser pistol, baseball bat

Just kinda hangs around, you could find her pretty much anywhere with a terminal and/or a surface to sleep on. When he's in the commonwealth, he likes hacking Diamond City’s turrets for fun when there's nothing too serious going on. Either that or they're camped out in Goodneighbor.

If you have any questions about them, don't be afraid to ask !!! I'll be rolling more art out of them soon enough :]

Thanks for reading ! And please reblog <3

Every Fallout 3 Companion’s Approximate Birth Year (Part 1/3)

Fawkes — 2054

There are cut terminal files that imply he moved into Vault 87 as a married adult, so I’m going by that.

deadwifeguy fawkesssss

RL-3 — 2075

Mr. Gutsies were first deployed sometime during the Liberation of Anchorage, which lasted ten years and ended on January 10, 2077.

But they aren’t treated as novel or expensive in the Anchorage simulation, which was developed before the end of the war.

But a loading screen also says they were developed “shortly before” the Great War.

Jericho — 2212

He’s 65 according to the game guide.

Star Paladin Cross — 2216

Because she’s a cyborg, she can be as old as I want her to be, and I want her to be in her sixties because that’s awesome.

Charon — 2251

I will not elaborate.

Talk to Ahzrukhal.

Clover — 2254

She’s only been a slave for a few months, so no Cait Math for her, but I figure 23 is reasonable enough.

Butch — 2257

He has a Pip-Boy in the birthday scene, so he’s older than the Lone Wanderer, who was born in July 2258.

The vault didn’t randomly have eight kids in one year, right? They’ve got to be spread out a little bit.

Dogmeat III — 2274

Four is a normal age for a dog to be, I guess. He can’t be too old if we accept that Dogmeat IV is his son.

Part 2

Part 3
